The Latins, in the palmy days of Rome,
held the maxim, Experience is the best
teacher" 1t is as true now as then, but
its truth in no way derogates from the
value of scientific education. Successful
experiments are the results of scientific
knowledge applied in practice. Without
science the road to success in any pursuit
is sleeper, rougher and more difficult, but
time and perseverance know no failure.

wives Insured.
CHICAGo, January 12th.-The police to-
day stopped the funeral of a girl named
Lucy Krug, aged 10, and who formerly
lived at No. 433 L4arrabie street, she having
died under suspicious circumstances. Soon
after, several detectives and q deputy Coro-
ner and his assistants arrived on the scene
In September, 1885, Lawrence krug, car
penter, was married to Mrs. Heidelmayer,
and Lucy was her daughter. Krug and
his wife started on wedding trip to New
York, he previously insuring his wifes
life for 81 900 in the Knights ami Ladies of
Honor. When on their wedding tour Mrs
kru,, died, and Krug married again in
New York. He had been at home but
short time when his second wife, whose
life had been insured in the same Associa-
ton, also died. Two months after her
death he married Mrs. Rohr, who was nine
years older than krug. This was in Sep
tember last. Six weeks later she was at
tackled with typhoid fever aud died. This
last wife was also injured. During her i'll
ness she was attended by DIR. Kallstein
Suspicion was aroused at her death by the
fact of the insurance. which was made out
to her daughter, Mrs. Charles Anderson,
who was forced by krug to make over her
claims on the insurance to him. Lucy
Heidelmeyer or krug, as she was usually
called, was insured in the same Associa-
ton, and her policy was made payable to
her stepfather, Krug. He was placed un-
der surveillance. Dr. Biuthart will make
a post-mortem examination Of the body.

New YoRK, January 13th-A. M.-The
Tribune'S London special says: The Times
of Monday published an article on the re-
port of the United States Board of Fortifi-
cations, in which, while commencing the
thoroughness of the institutions, the writer
disapproves of the recommendations of the
Board, on the ground of the great cost of
the pre-, ,.os ed Notifications. "0ver f27 ,OOO,-

says the writer. " For one.fifth of that
sum England could raise her coast de-
fenses the world over TO standard of
efficiency which would probably satisfy the
most exacting theorists" Your correspond

formerly Inspector-Gen OF Fortifica-
tions, and one of the highest authorities

costly Notifications belong to the old
school. would do away with them alto
gether. 1t is an open secret that Italy re-
grets having expended so much money on
Notifications. Germany is simply waiting
to see what England does"
" But would not the proposed fortfca-
tons. render a city so defended practically
secure against attack by sea - asked the
correspondent.
Probably, but by a different system
they could be defended much more eff
ciently and at infinitely less expense. Ny
plan does away viii all fortifcatons.
Instead OF alleged invnlnerability my prin-
ciple is invisibility of defenses. With your
distinguished eountryman, Lieutenant
Maxim ! have worked cut the disappear
ing gun system. which can be applied to
the heaviest gun made.

This renders fortihcations unnecessary.
The gun occupies hole in the ground.
When in action it is raised by sort of
hydraulic elevator, and after firing sinks
into the pit again to be reloaded Thus it
is exposed for only few seconds. When
in the Dit it can only be hit by vertical or
plunging fire, and the likelihood of such
shots striking their mark is infinitely small.
Covered ways shelter for the men who load

A Challenge to freIee.
New YORK, January 13th-A. M.-The
Stars London special says: Bismarck's
speech has created general uneasiness on
Continental Beurses. 1t is accepted as con-
vincing proof that Germany regards war as
inevitable, and is resolved to be the first
in readiness tor the field. II is challenge
to France to assume the offensive as soon
as she likes. The teae Of the German
press is proof OF increasing strained rela-
tons.
The French press generally treats the
speech as warning To be prepared for a
German invasion without an hours delay.
In French military circles the feeling is
general that the French are not prepared,
but France win be ready to take the field
before Germany.

LONDON, January 13th-A. M-De.ailed
accounts have been received here of some
of the most shameful evictious ever re-
corded in the history of Ireland. At
Glenbrag, County Kerry, on the estate of
Rt. Hon. Rowland Winn, the time chosen
for ejectment was in the midst of pitiless
tempest. The unfortunate tenants were
driven out intoth storm without board
to shelter them, and then, to prevent their
returning, the bailitfs set fire to their cot
tages. Winn is an implacable Tory, and
resolved, apparently, on extreme measures.

Strengthen Boulanger.
New YORK, January 12th.-The Mail and
Express London special says: The rumor
of General BoulaDgcrs retirement from the
French Ministry i'll consequence of the fiat
refusal of Goblet to lay before Parliament
bill for military credits, is believed to
have been started with the view of in
tuencing action in the German Reichstag
on Prince Bismarck's army bill. At the
same time currency of this report was de-
cided by undercurrents of jealousy which
exist in official circles, and even the army,
at the important position which Boulanger
has assumed in the affairs of the nation.
A new Cabinet combination IS already
being canvassed from which Boulanger is
to be excluded.
Prince Bismarck 5 utterances are likely
to raise General Boulanger still higher in
popular estimation, with the result of fore
ing the French Government to tolerate his
excesses rather than provoke open rupture
with him. The opinion rs to the result of
the Reichstag debate difsers co siderably,
but the weight of judgment inclines TO the
belief that yesterdays speeches will over
come the opposition of the Center party,
aud that the German Government will Oh
tain small majority in favor Of Bismarck S

CHICAGO. January 12th.-Somc few cars
of Southern California oranges were re-
ceived by one of the largest firms here two
or three days ago. They were found to be
mostly all sour, in consequence of having
been picked and shipped too early. Further
shipments have been stopped for the pres

with Florida oranges, which makes it very
weak. The California variety brought

For the past two weeks the dried fruit
market has been very quiet. This is moth
ing more than is expected during the in

not seem to be quite prepared 10 start in,
but by about the 10Th they are expected to
take hold again. Notwithstanding the
quietness which has prevailed, o steady

WASHINGTON, January 12th.-The State
Department officials are reticent about the
new treaty said to have been concluded be-
tween the Governments of the United
States and China, to more thoroughly eX-
clude Chinese laborers from the United
States, but there is little doubt that such a
treaty has been concluded and will shortly
be sent to the Senate for ratification. A
prominent officer of the Department told
your correspondent tonight that negotia-
tions for a new treaty had been in progress
for some days, but he declined to say posi-
lively whether treaty had been definitely
settled or not. When Morrow, at the last
session of Congress. was pressing his bill
Chairman Belmont. of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, who is
close friend of Secretary Bayard,
suggested that he awaitthe arrival Of the new
UIinese Minister, and it was owing 10 Bel
mont's indifference that Morrow's bill was
not pushed and passed. As soon as the
new Minister arrived negotiations for a
treaty were begun. The only purpose of
this move seems to have been the desire of
the Democratic Executive Department to
accomplish by treaty what the Republi-
can Senate failed 10 do by legislation. To-
day, under the rulings Of California Courts,
ore certificate is practically sufficient to
land two Cinnamon. Morrow bill would
have prevented this fraud.
CHINA AS ANXIOUS AS WE.
Assistant Secretary Of State Vorter says
the Chinese authorities are just as anxious
to prevent their people from leaving home
as the Pacific coast people are to prevent
their landing, and the new treaty has been
negotiated, presumably, with a view to
cover the loopholes in the laws and regula-
tions to put in force the last treaty on this
subject In past years Chinese diplomats
have more than proved their inability to
successfully cope with American Ministers,
Consuls and Secretaries of State, and until
the new treaty is made public it will not
be known whether the United States is
worsted in its last dicker with China, or
whether she has got the best of it.
